ProtonVPN received a request for a vpn user's IP. They did not have the logs, they aren't obligated to store them. They were forced to share mail IP, but are obligated to do so under swiss law, this isn't the case for VPNs.
Perfect-privacy was raided in 2016 and existed long before HMA, PIA, etc. They did not compromise user information .
Like you said mullvad was just raided, they did not have logs. The raid was useless.
Sure, a lot of VPN services are fluff and untrustworthy. Many VPN ranking websites are just ads. A blanket statement that all VPN providers are honeypots isn't helpful nor practical for the average person. A VPN shouldn't be used for anonymity, but a good provider has its use case.
Yes, but have you tried RAID SHADOW NORD ULTRA PRIME VPN?
No sorry, I'm on Comcast VPN
